Russian troops carried out a missile strike on the town of Bohokhudiv in Kharkiv Oblast on Aug. 22, killing one person and injuring at least six others, including a child, the Kharkiv Oblast military administration reported.
A 57-year-old man was killed in the Russian attack, the authorities said. The strike also injured a 15-year-old boy, a 50-year-old man, and two women aged 28 and 45. The ages of the other two injured women are yet to be established.
No further details were disclosed.
Attacks on population centers in Kharkiv Oblast, located in northeastern Ukraine, intensified after Russian forces launched a new cross-border offensive in the northern part of the region in May.
While Ukrainian troops have halted the advance, Russia still controls a handful of border settlements.

Independent journalism needs a community —
not a paywall.
We’re working hard to show the world the truth of Russia’s brutal war — and we’re keeping it free for everyone, because reliable information should be available to all.
Our goal: reach 20,000 members to prove independent journalism can survive without paywalls, billionaires, or compromise. Will you help us do it?
